It is ok for a night or 2. Small place.

We found it was small but very clean. Could use a TV in bedroom as not much room to set in living room. Had everything we needed and yes we would book again.

Jimmy was an excellent host. Check in was so easy with keypad and code. Everything was exactly as described and the parking was great. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. The air conditioning in the bedroom was much appreciated and needed. The main living area was a bit warm without ac or a fan but manageable. Great location and easy to get to things

Great stay in Halifax.

We really enjoyed our stay. The check in process was very streamlined. Communication was great. Place was comfortable for the two of us. The only confusion, which might have been my fault was the location. I was a great neighbourhood but a little outside of the downtown core. We did find a bus route and found it easy to get to the harbour. I would recommend this place wholeheartedly

Well appointed lodging. Exactly as described. Jimmy was easy to reach. Easy key pad check in. Great having a kitchen for morning coffee. We did not realize we would be on the top floor, would have preferred the main floor unit. Overall great value for the price! We would rent again.

Great Base to Visit the City and Surrounding Areas

Great second-storey apartment with its own exterior access. In a great spot, with a bus stop one street over servicing several routes that'll take you right downtown in 20-30 minutes, as well as being just a few blocks from the highway making it easy to drive to. For those bussing, there is a Shoppers Drugmart juat a few block away where you can purchase tickets. A grocery store and liquor store are also in visable distance

Response from VrboOwner on 10 August 2023
Thanks for the feedback . I do disagree with your summations . Average night time temperature in Halifax during this period was a mere 16 C ( 60 F) while day time was 25 C (77 F). A fan was provided in the apartment . The building is in a highly safe area and windows have wire net and blinds for privacy. Hence I fail to understand the concerns regarding safety. Particularly when we hosted close to 20 guests (from other online platforms) this .July/August and received 5 star reviews. The unit had no AC and this was clarified to the guest long before check-in . A portable AC has been installed now for the comfort of our guests.

This apartment rental is as essential as it comes for my stay if you're looking at staying in Halifax on a budget and as an alternative to a hotel. It is, as the description says, compact and cozy.Everything was nicely laid out and tidy upon arrival, Jimmy was able to get me setup ahead of time for my access code when I got into town.The bed was super comfy, once I found the right spot, I slept like a baby. The shower had shampoo/conditioner and body wash ready to use if needed. There was also some coffee and a few K-cups available as well.The smart TV and kitchen I didn't use as much as I was out and about for the duration of my stay, but it was there if I needed it. There's isn't a kitchen table, but there is a coffee table that can be used if you're eating in or doing meal preps.The location is in a prime spot in the Fairview area of Halifax, with closeby shopping, restaurants and gas around Dutch Village Rd/Joseph Howe Drive. There was construction around the area so it was a bit tricky to get to the apartment,.but otherwise it's right in the middle of the area where it's easy to get to.Slight improvements that can be made to the facility is the toilet paper holder rod was a bit loose, so was one of the heater panel shields by the toilet. Parts of the towel shelves, the walls and the shower could use some touch ups, but other than than, nothing too major needed for upgrading.I will definitely book this spot again on my next trip to Halifax. Thanks Jimmy!

Certainement pas cozy!

Tout petit appartement situé dans un environnement quasi industriel. Tout y est, mais est de très piètre qualité, notamment l'air climatisé (aussi bruyant qu'un camion de vidange), un matelas tellement mou et un divan totalement inconfortable. Seul élément positif: le propriétaire ou le gestionnaire a rapidement répondu à nos demandes concernant le redémarrage du Wifi (lui aussi d'une autre époque).
